IndieBacker can perhaps best be viewed as the Kickstarter or Indiegogo for the movie world, and its management believes that it can offer a more compelling and competitive answer to raising funds for new flicks by targeting this sector exclusively. Jeff Ritchie, IFLM CEO says:

“Whether you’re a young producer just beginning your career or an established celebrity with a unique project, IndieBacker is looking to help you partner with like minded social working donators internationally who share your vision.”

Is there room in the market for yet another crowdfunding platform? Well, niche can work if it’s executed well enough, but if up-and-coming filmmakers are looking to tap the broader investment community they may find the likes of Kickstarter more appealing if they’re in a hurry to raise funds. For now, at least.
